Les would be perfect to take over for Lee Corso. I really mean that.
The ADvocate is reporting the firing as fact, done deal, finite.

Oh, he'll get a sweet gig somewhere, he's too young to retire now.I'm gonna miss him, I liked how goofy he was.

Bama's next consultant?Bama's next consultant?
Is Les Catholic?
If we are lucky they will hire him permanentlyMy guess is Orgeron will be able to fire up the team and get them to play at a higher level. Would have rather seen them tank a whole season with Miles and Cameron at the helm.

Pretty sure LSU's athletic department - especially football - supports itself.I didn't think lsu could afford to fire Les, at least that is what some have claimed. Is this another example of people in charge saying screw the states finances as long as we got us a football coach?
If you live for any time amongst them, you`d understand. They`ve been even more irrational than before since CNS came to us and started beating them on a regular basis.I'm not saying Miles and Cameron don't deserve to be fired. Les has greatly under-achieved his recruiting. Cam Cameron has been abysmal developing QBs. And the clock management on that last drive looked like pee-wee league.
But what do they gain by doing it now? They throw in the towel on the season, trash any hope of a dignified ending (I know, I know...dignity is in short supply in Baton Rouge on the best days), trash the seniors' season and Fournette's swan song, and for what?
Firing Miles and Cameron now would be a childish temper tantrum in response to a disappointing loss. Yeah, it might feel good in the moment, but the next 60-90 days are really gonna be difficult, and you have no idea what's on the other end of it.
Wait until the week of the last regular-season game, announce that there will be a change at the end of the season, and give it at least some semblance of consideration and order.
I agree. I think he could fire up the team temporarily, but would flame out quickly.If we are lucky they will hire him permanently

No they really do deserve to be fired, but I think some people in the athletic Dept and BOT should be joining them because Cameron's offense has been a huge and obvious problem since he got thereI'm not saying Miles and Cameron don't deserve to be fired.

FIFYCam Cameron has been abysmal everywhere.

The gain out of this is that they can start working numbers faster for big time coaches, and get a better feel on things before jobs like aTm or Texas open up.But what do they gain by doing it now?

Again by doing that you are banking on coaches like Sumlin and Strong keeping their job. LSU cant play ball with the big bucks, so they need strong feelers to see what certain coaches wants are.Firing Miles and Cameron now would be a childish temper tantrum in response to a disappointing loss. Yeah, it might feel good in the moment, but the next 60-90 days are really gonna be difficult, and you have no idea what's on the other end of it.

He will be owed $6.4MM plus the remainder of this year's salary, from what I hear. How much of that is paid by the state vs. other sources, I do not know. Many coaches have a majority of their salary paid by other sources through connected contracts.I didn't think lsu could afford to fire Les, at least that is what some have claimed.

Likely most is from other sources. Most states have caps on what employees can be paid.He will be owed $6.4MM plus the remainder of this year's salary, from what I hear.

That is what I was assuming before, but several have stated they were afraid to pull the trigger under those conditions. I suppose it was just really bad PR and politics under that climate. I suppose losses to Whisky and AU have changed the climate.Pretty sure LSU's athletic department - especially football - supports itself.
